Have I ever told you my theory, which is that anyone who actually IS an avid/voracious reader will not use either the word "avid" or the word "voracious" to describe it, because they READ SO MUCH they know those two words are overused? That is my theory. This is hilarious.

My favorite is the guy who trains for the eco-challenge on a weekly basis with his: Sky Diving, Bungee Jumping, Rappelling, White Water Rafting, Scuba Diving, Canoeing, Hiking, Mountain Biking, and Skiing with Live Jam Band Music pumping on his iPod.

Also, I don't like objectives on resumes unless you are posting it on a job board. If you're applying for a specific position, it's pretty clear that your objective is to obtain that position. Actually putting an objective on your resume can only hurt you because odds are your objective won't match perfectly with the position and that can only make you look worse. Or is that just me, and everyone else things an objective is imperative? I totally agree with the commenter above me.

They only serve to make people look like idiots. Reading other people's resumes is so much fun. I firmly believe people should not have a “Hobbies” category on resumes.
